According to Denmark's TV 2 VIP, King Diamond has told BT.dk that there is a good chance that a new studio album from his classic heavy metal act MERCYFUL FATE will surface at some point in the not-too-distant future.

"Hank [Shermann, guitar] has written songs [for the proposed MERCYFUL FATE CD]. And he is ready for our new masterpiece," King Diamond is quoted as saying.

MERCYFUL FATE's last studio album, "9", was released in 1999.

A new two-DVD set of archival MERCYFUL FATE footage is tentatively due this spring.

I have seen it on TV2 and that's a damn reliable source i can assure you that. as said before it's one of two mayor TV stations. Everyone here pay TV license and they get 3 programs, rest you have to pay more for. You get Dr1, Dr2 and TV2 their news is some of the most reliable here in Denmark

once again we hope that can be real it will be a dream come true and a DVD FROM that possible tour , but I can not stay happy until king say with his owns words that that can be real, remember that he said many times that MF dont record until kd is vacation
